Bought this because my chainsaw “worked when it wanted to”
Because of the price , I wasn’t expecting more than it starting and running when I wanted it too.
As I have enjoyed using it , I have tried finding more uses for it.
Cut down a Childrens Playhouse and a large old shed ( both with roofing felt torched on ) in a morning , which enabled us to take to the tip in our car.
Still haven’t needed to sharpen the 1st chain attached and there is still a spare chain in the kit.
It’s not missed a beat.
Am not a “heavy” chainsaw user , but would recommend this to anybody.
Have mixed opinions on this, is a pain to start and cuts out when idling sometimes, cuts good when going
A quality product, with carrying bag and tools and explicit instructions. Powerful engine, easy pull starting mechanism. 1st job to drop a twenty foot, 15″ dia Sycamore tree. The saw worked extremely well cut cleanly through this semi hard wood. I found the saw a tad heavy +-7kg, but that’s an age related issue for me.
The chainsaw arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble with easy to follow pictured instructions. The chainsaw is easy to prime and start, it is a good weight and easy to hold both running and off, it is also easy to use and with the 20″ blade makes light work of most small trees in one go. With the spare chain and the selection of tools that come with this chainsaw it makes it exceptional value for money.
Great saw for the money. Performs really well and easy to start.
Firstly, great value for cost. Seems really well made, easy to start and operate. Used to saw up a fallen tree with a trunk Girth of around 18 inches, not a problem at all. Lots of power, cut through nicely. Well done Hyundai for a good all round well made saw. Would definitely recommend.
I have used this product a few times now and it is very easy to start and very powerful, i am really pleased withi
Item was soon delivered. It was as I’d hoped. Easy to assemble [with the help of the YouTube video to adjust the settings]. It started easily and has worked well for the dozen or so times I’ve used it. Well worth the money, touch wood.
This is so much better than my old chainsaw. It cuts through the branches in half the time. Easy to assemble. 5*
Really pleased with this saw. It starts really easy which is a bonus. Well worth i
Delivered within 48 hours. Easy to assemble. Starts instantly. First use was to cut down and log 6 conifers. 2 hours work. Later tackled a big pile of chestnut. No problem with either job. comes with a carry bag, clear instructions and a container for fuel mixing. Highly recommended for the occasional lumberjack!
Robust and semi professional. However care with the easy start system is imperative! If you tug it as with most units you can jam the cord around the mechanism. You must remember you are winding up a spring as you extend the starter cord which then releases the spring and turns over the motor when you reach the cord extension point.
Absolutely, brilliant, great design easy to assemble, starts great, check out for Bundle deals, looks like a very expensive chainsaw.
I purchased this chainsaw to replace an electric one that had given up on me. I needed a machine that would cope with cutting logs in time for the Winter and this machine has performed the task admirably. It is not a light chainsaw, but is robustly built, starts reasonably easily and is easy to control as it is very well balanced. The only negative I’ve found so far, is that it does not have an indicator for fuel or oil levels and the first time I filled it with oil, it was very easy to overfill it which resulted in a significant production of smoke. Other than this, a first rate machine which should last for many years.
After reading all the good reviews about the product, I decided to purchase it.
Never used a chainsaw before I was a little apprehensive about it.
It was very clear with the instructions on how to put together and build.
I was able to cut two large trees and a smaller tree with no problems at all.
After a break I started cutting again, I stopped it to clear some room, when I tried to restart it the recoil starter jammed and it couldn’t start.
I emailed gen power with the problem.
They asked for details which I sent.
They yold me that they would send me a replacement recoil unit.
I received this the next day. The after sales was extremely impressive and very helpful.
I fitted the new part and the chainsaw is now back in action.
I would strongly recommend this saw as it is very tough and cuts through large trees with very little effort. The after sales couldn’t of been any more helpful.
Thank you.

Brilliant peace of kit easy to assemble easy to start wrll worth the money.
It’s a great value chainsaw, easy to assemble and is powerful enough to do the job.
Chainsaw arrived promptly – reasonably priced – strongly built with powerful engine and sharp chain. Manual easy to follow and saw was easy to assemble. Started first pull has has done every time up to now.
I needed a chainsaw to get rid of a number of trees in my garden and thereafter cut the resulting trunks/branches for future firewood. I had initially borrowed a friends chainsaw which was a reputable brand however this struggled with the job at hand due to the thickness of branches. I set out looking for my own chainsaw and came across the P1PE. I don’t expect to have much use for a chainsaw once the garden is finished so the price was perfect. The reviews convinced me to take a chance on a brand I’d never heard of over the entry level chainsaws of the big brands.
Now my knowledge of chainsaws is non existent but if you handed me this and told me it was worth a lot more I’d believe you.
Assembly was quick and easy (I used the YouTube video rather than manual) and it was good to go.
It starts first time with easy (even when cold if you follow the instructions) and off you go.
It goes through logs effortlessly and made cutting up the thickest of branches a walk in the park. It even went horizontally through the trunk, which is about 1ft in diameter, without issue.
Really easy to assemble, watch the video on U-Tube it’s so easy if you do! Starts & cuts really well. So pleased I bought it. All logs cut up & ready for wood burner!
OK, I know you can buy a cheaper one but you can also pay a lot more for a powerful, 20″ bar chainsaw. I’ve had several mid-price saws over the years but this one is the best by far. Easy to put together, easy to start and easy to use. It is a little on the chunky side but if you want a great value saw with a 20″ bar that will tackle green Oak with ease, look no further.
Lovely saw works well. The company are very helpful if you need help
I have owned 3 chainsaws over the years. The Hyundai Chainsaw is by far the best. Very easy to put together and adjust. Starts 1st time on each pull which is very reassuring! You also get a spare chain which is most welcomed. Well done Hyundai!
Great product arrived as quickly as expected. Robust and initial use very pleased with the cut and ease of cutting through logs.
We have had a number of big trees blown down and needed a chainsaw to chop them into manageable logs etc.
It was easy to assemble, handles with ease and cuts quickly and effectively. Its a great buy, with extras, excellent value with free postage. Have already recommended to friends and family
Simple to assemble, great solid machine and loads of power.
Bought this because of the great reviews and I can see why its so popular.
Fully recommended
Great item for the price, I already have a Stihl chainsaw which is a nightmare to start, the Hyundai starts first time every time, is easy to handle and does the job.
Quick delivery.assemled chainsaw in 10 mins motor started on 2nd pull .powerfull motor really easy to use,very pleased with chainsaw
Easy to use
Cuts nicely
Happy with the purchase.
Have cut down a couple of trees in the back garden now.
Chainsaw arrived as stipulated. The package contained all the components properly packaged. The assembly and usage instructions were easy to follow. With 30 minutes I was able to assemble it and ready to saw trees. It’s the first time I have had a chainsaw and was amazed at the ease of use. Of course, one must follow the safety advice and instructions!
This chainsaw has a 20″ bar, automatic chain lubrication and a powerful 63cc motor. Also came with a toolkit to aid assembly, plus an instruction booklet and a measuring bottle to ensure that the 25/1 petrol/oil mix is accurate. Seems very good value for the money, and first test impressions are very favourable. It even comes with a spare chain.
This chainsaw is amazing for its price. I was a bit shocked initially that I had to put the blade and chain on but it was straightforward. There were some starting issues initially, the started coiled did not seem to catch the carburettor. But after a few weeks, it was working like a dream. Much better than those in budget supermarkets – no names mentioned!
Takes trees down easily, good to have a spare chain and fuel mix measure
Firstly I had concerns having read about communications issues with the sellers not responding to complaints etc.
This was enhanced when the machine arrived missing the bumper spike. I contacted them and was given an immediate apology with the part sent out right away. Anyway the machine is very powerful and with a 20″ bar it means I can cut thicker trees and the chain lasts longer. The fuel consumption is a little high as you would expect with a 62cc engine and the chain oil use is also a little on the heavy side but I know this will do the job. Starts first time and is quite noisy and heavy. Easy to put together though and the carry bag is handy. I am delighted with the performance although it tends to cut out when held side on. Obviously a fuel flow angle issue but not really a concern. I would highly recommend. It comes with two chains and I have cut for several hours so far with no apparent chain failure. I did invest in an electric chain sharpener for my workshop but haven’t used it for this machine yet.
Very happy with purchase, easy to put together, quite light to use which is a bonus
Excellent chainsaw, easy to put together and use. Great price. Highly recommended.
Excellent chainsaw, easy to assemble and easy to start. Would recommend this product.
Got this chainsaw to replace a rather elderly one that had passed its best. Started easily and did some rather tough cutting with ease. Pleased with this purchase.
Received my new machine very promptly – next day if I remember correctly – assembly is quick and easy, all the tools are provided. I read the quick start guide as I’ve had chainsaws before and it started without any fuss. So far I’ve only used it for one small job, but it seems excellent. One small thing; the screws securing the handle; one of them was missing, but I have spares fortunately.
I’ve had 2 McCulloch chainsaws before this and this is a good as those. If it lasts as long then it will be a real bargi
Really lovely chainsaw – comfortable weight and good length blade. Good value for money. Loved the spare chain and case.
Perfect to use…..assembly simple…..just the job for log cutting
And competitively priced
Had this over a year now. Price was great at the time – nothing else in price bracket seemed to match the spec or positive reviews.
It’s not the lightest with the 20inch bar but only other chainsaw I’ve used was 16inch top brand model at almost 3x the price and I bought this because I needed a tree removed and it was cheaper than hiring saw for a weekend!. Taken down several trees now up to about 30cm diameter and logged them all with no probs. I follow the instructions on cleaning after use and its still an easy start and runs great. Bit gutsier on mix and chain oil but can’t complain at price.
Very good chainsaw. It was the first I had every used and found it very easy to assemble and operate. Customer support is fantastic replacing a nut that was misplaced.
Excellent product for smaller trees. Used it continuously over three days on trees up to 8 inch diameter and it was very reliable. Slight carburettor adjustment was easily done after day 1. It won’t have such intensive use from now on but it has certainly paid for itself already.
No problems in following video and booklet guide in getting chain saw set up for use. Weight wise, very manageable not too heavy. Value for money.
Recent purchase to get a 20″ bar saw and a more powerful motor [62cc]. This saw appears to offer good value and cuts fine. Easy start is responsive, one smooth pull and you are running with plenty of power for the bar. It’s early days but impressed so far and I expect to get good reliability from a Hyundai powered product.
Excellent value for money and powerful chainsaw. Body casing feels a little cheap, but robust enough.
Very easy to assemble and fly’s through the wood.
Arrived quickly. Simple to assemble. Good Instructions. Started easily by following instructions. Cut through a big conifer like butter!
I bought this for clearing some of the garden and for cutting up firewood. The chainsaw is robust and seems to be very well made, slicing through the wood with comparative ease. It is straightforward to assemble provided one follows the instructions carefully. Very happy with the purchase, at a great price too.
Easy to assemble just follow the instructions, tools and fuel bottle plus case great.
Came in 48hrs, will use again.
The chain saw arrived on time was excellently packaged and came with easy instructions and full set of tools ..The saw was easy to start and cut through a 12 inch tree like butter,would recommend this product to anyone who needs a good product at a good price.
I chose this Hyundai chainsaw because it had a 20″ blade and 60cc engine. This gives it plenty of cutting power.
This is a pretty good chainsaw for the money, it’s powerful and with a 20 inch bar is able to take on some fairly meaty jobs. I took on a birch tree in the garden and it has worked an absolute treat, like a hot knife through butter. I’d certainly recommend as a good quality budget chainsaw for home use, with a bit of extra clout for some bigger jobs.
This machine is spot on. Arrived well packaged with comprehensive instructions for assembly. However I found the youtube video was easy to follow and I had the chainsaw fully assembled in no time. I used it straight away and was not disappointed!! I’m not a professional,but in my opinion,this is a great chainsaw at a great price.
Highly recommended.
Did some heavy duty work almost non stop. Cutting down big trees and chopping the wood. Consumes a lot of oil. Heats up, and you have to wait for it to cool down. I have the 20 inch blade.
Assembled chainsaw mixed fuel with oil , filled with chainsaw oil , primed started after 4 pulls of starter . Ran flat out could not control speed of chainsaw . Emailed Genpower UK distributor and received a reply telling me what to check , how to fix . Then started chainsaw now ok , cuts wood easily ,like a knife through butter very powerful chainsaw .
Fantastic quality for the price. Bags of power, cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter. Highly Recommended….A++++
Good price, easy to assemble, easy starting. I brought it to cut up trees for logs, worked perfectly. I have used more expensive ones before and this was as good as them.
excellent saw easy to start does what it says on the box.Received very quickly, well packaged and all working. Thank you!
What a fabulous chainsaw for under 100!! Well built and a dream to start, 2nd pull from cold every time. Why spend 5x the amount on a Stihl when you can get this!
Excellent. I was a little wary at using a chainsaw but this was a brilliant purchase. It sawed through our 75 year old pine tree like butter. I would definitely recommend this product as a first time chainsaw user. Full of safety features and easy to use. There are a couple of things I would like to point out though. Photograph the instructions and zoom in as the instruction images are really small. The second point is, but a small funnel to pour in your fuel mix or the manufacturer could change the mixing bottle design to have a pouring tube attachment. I used a funnel I already had. Apart from these two things it is a brilliant piece of kit which works I so, so good. Free cover, 2 chains and a free mixing bottle were great to see in the box.
Easy to put together with the tools provided and it fired up instantly. I’ve used it quite a bit over the last few days and it’s much better than my old one.
So far seems to be a good powered chainsaw. Little kick back so far and do s exactly what it says on the ti
What a great bit of kit, for the money you will not buy a better saw, Easy to put together and started first time, if you need a good saw get one of these, very impressive
ORDERED ONE DAY DELIVERED NEXT. VERY EASY ASSEMBLY, CLEAR DIAGRAMS AND INSTRUCTIONS. STARTED FIRST TIME . VERY CLEAR STARTING INSTRUCTIONS. INCLUDED WERE BLADE COVER, 2 CHAINS, FUEL MEASURING BOTTLE, AND COVER. PRIMER WAS VERY IMPORTANT NOT ALL CHAINSAWS COME WITH IT. VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AND AT A VERY GOOD PRICE . EVEN THE PACKAGING SHOWED THOUGHT AND CARE IN ITS DESIGN.
Good price and powerful. Used it to cut down and chop up some unwanted trees in the garden. Made light work of some really hard wood.
Excellent value for money for this very powerful tool. Assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. Started first time and cuts better than some much more expensive saws that I’ve used. The Hyundai engine is a great little unit and well up to the task. Be sure to fully tighten the nuts holding the guide bar in place otherwise chain slackens when run for any length of time
Easy to set up and start. It’s working great for the job I bought it for to cut up logs excellent value
Good powerful engine, well made, easy instructions. Cut down a good 15+ trees now and no issues. Smokes a bit as it’s 1:25 ratio on the oil
Arrived on time, easy to put together, much more robust than my previous chainsaw and does the jobs required. Exactly what I wanted!
Easy start easy to handle dose what it says on the tin. Brilliant after sales service. the saw arrived the day after I ordered it well pleased.
Top piece of kit used it for Tree work .easy to put together. No problem starting. .
It cuts wood, it starts second or third pull every time. What are those one star reviews about??
This is the perfect chainsaw for beginners, easily assembled, simple instructions and perfect for the job. Used for cutting logs and general garden use.
Very impressed. It went together easily, started second pull and went straight to work with a day’s worth of cutting through roundels of an old tree trunk as wide as it’s blade was long. Made short work of all of them. .
I thought that I’d wait before reviewing to avoid the “it was delivered promptly / it was easy to set to / I bought this as a present for my dad / it looks really good” type reviews that tell you nothing about the product itself. I bought this last year and have now completed my second year’s supply of logs – equivalent to about 2 ton bags per year. This chainsaw has been excellent, and each blade lasted a full year. It was stored over spring/summer and started first time when used again. There’s a lot of plastic in the chainsaw but it’s remarkable study. For the price I paid, this represents fantastic value for money.
Came on time. V helpful coming with bag toolkit and clear instructions. Assembly straightforward certainly if used chainsaws before. Starts easily if follow instructions carefully. Powerful compared to smaller machines. Quite heavy compared to what I am used to but balance fine and straightforward operating, Cuts well and easily. Time will tell how it performs longterm but I do not forsee any issues. Looks a great bit of kit for price.
The chain saw is absolutely superb. I have a number of older chain saws by different manufacturers, and this Hyundai model feels sturdier, more powerful and all round stronger than any I have owned. I was tempted by the name Hyundai, as I have a car by that manufacturer, and I am certainly not disappointed with the product. Excellent value for money, very fast delivery, and well recommended.
For the price an excellent machine – the two files sent with it, one was broken and both wrong size for chain.
Starts very well but will probably have to adjust high running sometime soon – no problem as I’m used to chain saws. One problem is that when starting it my size 10 boots wont fit in the back handle area to keep it steady!
Only used for about half an hour so far, but its fine saw for the money, plenty power. i was expecting the chain to be rubbish but it held up surprisingly well, only had an initial tightening after a few minutes, as id expect from any make of chain.
The easy start is spot on , not difficult at all and once started the restarts are just as easy , I like the fact it came with two chains and that you can buy spares from the same company
Nice chainsaw to use only one problem I found that exhaust bolts was loose ! Luckily I spotted it before using it otherwise so far so good time will tell
Wow, this machine is a real powerhouse. The instruction video to assemble this item is first class. I followed this to a tee and voila, I have a fully operational chansaw and boy does this cut things up. Be warned though, this is a hefty item and you will need a fair amount of strengthe to wield it.
Really pleased with this chainsaw. I bought a budget saw as only use a few times a year.
Super little machine and very competively priced. Easy to start and use, even by a novice like me. Very impressed and could buy 4 machines for the price of the leading manufacturers. You obviously have a 12 month warranty, which makes them nearly disposable if they fail. Time will tell on that point, but thus far spectacular!
Nice chainsaw, following instructions it starts 1time even when frosty outside. As per instructions chain will need retensioning when used for first few times (as do all) This is very easy to do ! Chain cuts very well, that engine hardly ever needed at max revs on trigger. Assembly is straight forward and tools provided for what is needed.
I was a little reluctant initially to order this saw, but after prevaricating went ahead anyway. I`m glad I did. A fantastic bit of kit. Started second pull out of the box. First load of logs cut with ease.
Nice item with it’s own carry bag for keeping safe. Also came with spare chain which was useful. Started after a few pulls (after assembly of chain section) and has cut the branches already that I needed. Well worth the money if you consider it’s about 50 to hire one for a day.
A powerful chainsaw, no complaints about it, the difference over my other saw must be due to 35cc v 62cc engine. The extra power wins over the extra weight every time.
I find it smokes and have reduced the oil mix and it smokes less… to start it.. 2 or 3 pulls then push the fuel pump again with your thumb a few more times and tun the Choke off… and it starts well… if you dont push the choke in it floods and wont start so well.
So far so good. Set up was simple and after priming started first pull, little bit of smoke but it is brand new and soon disappeared.
First bit of wood was a log 16″ diameter and went through it like a knife through butter!!
For the money I am very impressed, Just hope it keeps performing
Great service. Arrived quickly. Used YouTube video as photos in instructions too small. Started easily. So far very pleased with it.
The chainsaw is great we had an oak tree fall in the strong wind and it went through the trunk of the tree with no trouble at all. I would recommend this chainsaw it is perfect for the job
akes only a few minuets to assemble if you know your way around chain saws but newbies may find it a bit confusing.
The soft start is excellent( much better than the Stihl I use at work.) The provided tool kit is cheap and nasty , how much would it cost to put a handle on the file and provide a decent screwdriver? The plastic parts of the body seem very brittle and I expect some damage to occur when fairly quickly once I start using this a lot during the winter.
You get what you pay for and all in all this does the job as well as a 300- 400 saw update February 2021. I had to change the chain as I stupidly hit stony ground with the tip. On retightening the bolts on the chain cover both of the studs stripped from their seatings. I tried using some thread lock but as the to no availe. A shame because it’s done a lot of heavy work including cuttinng through 100 year old |French railway sleepers ( don’t do it , the years of soaked in creosote take ages to clean off.) outside the warranty now so not worth the repair costs. probably time to invest in a Stihl.
Okay get the first one out of the way. Chainsaw arrived, put together, fuelled and started. Ran okay on tickover from cold or warm but once warmed up would not work when any throttle applied. Would choke and stop within a few seconds. Tried to check the plug and when I pulled the plug cover off the coil spring part of HT lead which fits over top of spark plug separated from lead and stayed coiled around plug. It’s possible that this was the running problem and gives me some concern over future performance. On the positive side the supplier was very prompt in communications, arranged to pick up faulty item and sent out a replacement (which came before the first chainsaw was uplifted). Which to me was great service.
Second chainsaw here’s the general review. At c90, considering you get an extra chain, it’s a bargain (there are similar others at same price range — a friend has a different one and they both look of similar build and quality). It was delivered well packed with all the items promised; it’s fairly easy to put together but the pictures in the manual are too small and of poor definition to be a lot of help. Included is a volume marked mixer bottle for making up the 25:1 mix but it is not very robust so I would not recommend carrying a full bottle in a bag for risk of leaking / splitting and I think you’d be better with a decent fuel container of thicker plastic (plus it only holds enough for about two fuel tank fillings).
I’ve had a Stihl chainsaw for about 4 years and bought this as a back up with a slightly longer bar (unluckily the day before it arrived I had a tree blown down blocking the access to my house but this dealt adequately with the thicker trunk that my Stihl couldn’t cope with). In comparing this to the Stihl it’s a bit like comparing two cars from a top manufacturer or one of the more “basic” makers. Both will get you from A to B but one has better quality switchgear, plastic, components and comfort. One noted feature is the Stihl chains come pre stretched and I did notice this items chain did stretch significantly more on first use than I expected. I also find fitting the drive cover to the Stihl a better design. Another good design point on the Stihl is that the oil and fuel reservoirs are clear so you can see when you’re getting low unlike this saw but so long as you check it after about twenty minutes or so you should be fine (I was always told not to let two strokes run dry as it can cause excessive wear when fuel lubrication stops and engine is still trying to run).
Overall would I recommend this for purchase. It is built down to a price but that price is great value for money. I’ve only used it for about five hours work so can’t comment on longevity and the work was on fairly thick / solid trees (and I still worry about the plug cap failure and haven’t tried to remove plug yet). But if you’re looking for something for domestic use and not expecting overmuch then I’d say go for it.
I’d also particularly commend the seller for communications and help with the problem I had.
p.s. I expect the similar chainsaws at this price would not be much different.
A fantastic product, just difficult to assemble ( I am Frank Spencer) but a great log chopper and comes with a spare chain..
Great product, really pleased with it. Watched the video on YouTube how to assemble and it was really helpful. Started on the 3rd attempt which was unexpected but really pleasing. 1st class chainsaw.
Great chainsaw for the price, chains blunt quickly but I replaced with quality ones and this cuts as well as much more expensive chainsaw.
Update October 2018:
I’ve been using this chainsaw for a while here and there and still am happy with it.
So adding one more star.
—
I had bought this a while ago and after being lazy I wanted to finally cut a tree in my back garden today.
Assembly is fairly simple, fuel mixing and putting chain oil are straight forward.
The problem occurred when I attempted and failed to have it started and after trying both cold and warm start procedures for dozens of times I decided to check the spark plug and I could not unscrew it because it’s so damn tightly screwed in so the spark plug wrench that comes with this chainsaw just bent and broke…
I don’t own any spare spark plug wrenches nor spark plugs, so out of frustration I continued trying to get the chainsaw to start and after 30 minutes or so I finally managed to get it started in warm start procedure.
Having let it to work for some minutes now it starts from the first try, luckily.
Now I am a bit worried about the day in the future when I’ll absolutely have to replace that spark plug…
